This kinda feeds off of the "You Know you're a BA equestrian when.." thread but this is different! Tell me about those times you have in life where you think.."Only a horse person would understand!"
I'll start This morning, I grabbed a coat before heading out the door and after I arrived at school and headed into the building, I shoved my hands in my pockets in realized I had an empty tube of dewormer in my pocket! Oopsies I prayed it wouldn't accidently fall out for the rest of the day!
-when you are hiking around and all you can think is "I would love to ride this area...plus I can go faster"
-when you are driving somewhere and pick out trails that you know you and your horse could totally own and then daydream of riding them
-when you can't wait for warm weather because it means more horse time
-when day light savings time comes around and you are happy because it means more horse time and everyone looks at you like you're nuts because you actually lost an hour of sleep
when you dont have a horse and ride your friends.. therefore.....
when you are thinking about posting and cantering and your heart races so fast and you have you wipe the grin off your face because you remember that you are on the school bus
When you share the same carrot with your horse.
When can get to have your horse do almost anything without any tools.
When you could brush/ride our horse for HOURS.
When the teacher either collects work or has another student mark the work that you have doodled horses, horse sayings, and vented horsey problems onto. Oh, and when the student marking your work is your old crush...
when you're driving with the windows down and the smell of horse manure makes you think that horses are near so you start looking around excitedly and forget about the road...
Today I walked into an ice cream shop (well, ok, fro-yo shop) and a woman walked out wearing a Horseware Ireland Jacket, Ariat Vest, and Paddock Boots. I immediately said, "Nice horseware... hey, you ride, I RIDE TOO. "
Haha yeah, you know you're a horse woman/man when you get excited and immediately strike up a conversation whenever you see anyone wearing horse stuff...and go out of your way just to talk to them :lol:.
Or how about when you see a sandy beach, golf course or huge field and think OMG I want to gallop through there! It seems that no matter where I go, I see an empty yard, field ect and wonder how many horses I could have in there.
looking at a property for sale and calculating how big of a barn, tack room, and possibly an arena you could fit on there. Also how many horses you can fit on there to have good pasture room. I do this when we go house hunting
you know you have been riding to often when you are in a car or behind people and the car/ person in front is going to slow and your hand mimics the tapping of a whip on the horses shoulder thinking that you and the other person will go faster
I have done this many times.....gotten in my car, and after driving for a few minutes I think "oh **** I don't have my helmet on!!!" Posted via Mobile Device
i do this too!! i ride then i get in the car to go home, put my seatbelt on, and sit there thinking "what am i missing here?" i feel like i should have a helmet on :p
Haha! Today I was talking to my sister about her car as I was driving it... "It feels a little weird... Just isn't picking up speed... Isn't responding..." etc etc. Then I paused mid sentence after glancing at her and seeing a blank look on her face, and realized I was talking about it like it was a horse! LOL! That's what I get for taking a riding lesson today. It felt so good to be back on a horse!
You know you're a horse person when you see nothing wrong with sharing a slobber-covered apple with your horse!~
I am always mentally converting properties into more horse-friendly places.
"Oh, and arena could go there, on that flat spot. The barn would fit nicely there near the house. And some beautiful white-board fencing to frame the driveway. That still leaves plenty of pasture space..." All the time.
And does anyone else do this: When you're in a car/bus/ect., you look out the window and pretend your out there riding a horse, following the vehicle and jumping ditches and fences and cars and stuff? I do that all the time. It's actually very entertaining!
When you see PERFECT property sitting with all the expensive, beautiful horse-appropriate fencing and see NO horses or livestock at all, and it stays that way for as long as the people live there
When you're trying to steer an uneven shopping cart and you feel the muscles in your leg tense up because you want to use both your leg and your "reins" to guide the cart.
